For reference, here are the Sonatype OSS repository guidelines:

https://docs.sonatype.org/display/Repository/Sonatype+OSS+Maven+Repository+Usage+Guide#SonatypeOSSMavenRepositoryUsageGuide-6.CentralSyncRequirement

The important excerpt

"Besides, we discourage putting release repository/pluginRepository in
your POM. In ideal conditions, all your dependencies should be already
in central and central repository is self-contained. Otherwise
people's build might break because of missing dependencies."

So it is not "banned", but there is a strong argument against it.
